Despite his own impressive start to the season, Torres insisted that Chelsea topping the Premier League with three successive wins was of far more importance.

"2-0 at the end is the main thing, you helped the team by scoring and winning the penalty for Eden and that is good," Torres added.

"Always the striker has to score and I have said many times it was one of the things I wanted to improve and I have done so far this season."

He continued: "We have showed to everyone how strong we are when we have to defend like we did last season but we have another way to play as well - I think it is important a big team to have different kinds of ways to play.

"We are enjoying ourselves, we are having a really good start to the season and I think the fans are enjoying it too.

"We are playing really good football for the moment, so let's build on this momentum."
